Additions by county:

Scott

3.31+11.59

  • 1923 2.50 Moccasin Gap to Tennessee

This is missing a lot.

Lee

4.44

  • 1925 4.5 south from Wise County

This adds up.

Wise

4.70+13.54 (1936)

  • 1922 6.0 (Lee and Wise) Big Stone Gap towards Natural Tunnel
  • 1926 4.0 Pound towards Wise
  • 1927 8.7 towards Wise
  • 1928 4.60 SR 11 at/near Norton towards Wise

This more than adds up.
